English people, his brother has told him, aren't too particular about what they eat. "Maybe when I return, I'll own three restaurants," he says. "Then my family will be proud of me, just like...

...programming.The prohibitive costs of the legislation, coupled with difficult logging and tracking procedures and the favoring of large stations over educational and internet-only stations, threaten to turn the internet radio community into yet another ClearChannel playground.Unlike other countries, the United States requires terrestrial radio stations to pay licensing fees only to song composers, instead of paying royalties to composers and performers.Organizations such as Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI) and the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Performers (ASCAP) have long collaborated with both large radio stations, and college stations, requiring the stations to log what they play for a given...
